I have a '20 R1250RT with 7500km on the clock, and last week I noticed a contamination on the inside of the LCD instrument cluster, as if some fluid was dropping down, like something was melting.
On my former '18 R1200RT LC I had exactly the same problem at the same spot (see pictures).
Anybody had the same issue?

Re: contamination inside LCD instrument cluster
I’ll sort one out over the next few days when I can view the dash in daylight, I realise I said I would post one in the previous thread but forgot.

Re: contamination inside LCD instrument cluster
I've had this on my previous K1600 it's condensation, the screens are supposed to be fully waterproof but some do let moisture in.
It will disappear in time but when washing your bike, keep any water well away from that area.

Well, on my previous R1200RT LC and current R1250RT the instument cluster never touched any water; never rode in the rain nor hosed it down with cleaning water.
I did and do drive quite a lot below 10C however, that's probably the culprit when I read the other threads.......

Re: contamination inside LCD instrument cluster
Bike’s been in the garage for a while and it’s quite chilly in there. Condensation present in the lower part of the dash with the dried up ‘drips’ visible on the upper part. The drips have been there since I got the bike in 2014 and look like nail varnish runs and have never changed.
(Uploaded from my phone! Upper and lower refers to how it looks on the bike, not upside down )

Re: contamination inside LCD instrument cluster
Wow, yours is really bad! Didn't you try to get it fixed under warranty?
On my former R1200RT LC I got a new repair kit screen under warranty https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=62_0597
Maybe I try this again but first I want to wait how it's going to dry up, and how bad it comes back. I hate it when mechanics touch my bike 8) ........
